Frame Anchoring/Pulling

  • Identify a vehicle that requires frame bench setup and measure. This can be either a full frame vehicle or unibody.
  • Working with your mentor, drive the vehicle onto the frame rack.
  • Remove any needed underbody shields or rocker panel covers to access the areas needed for clamping.
  • Identify the proper clamps and fixtures needed to properly setup the vehicle to measure and pull.
  • Clamp the vehicle to the frame bench using the pinch-weld or truck clamps.
  • Using the 3D measurements, create a plan to pull the damage on the vehicle.
  • Properly attach pulling clamps and chains to the area being repaired.
  • With direction from your mentor, apply pulling force on the vehicle to pull damage, while stress relieving the vehicle structure.
  • While the vehicle is being pulled, take a photo of the pulling chain setup on the vehicle.
